Full level of enlightenment: I achieved Daozu by ascending to the lower realm

Chapter 363 Advancing to the Dao Integration Stage
Upon seeing Ning Qi activate the combined Dao of the Vast Realm, this powerful cultivator from Fancheng, ranked among the top fifty in strength, felt an indelible sense of vigilance.

For someone like him, there would be no chance to give the enemy a chance to grow stronger.

Unlike some oblivious people who think that even if an enemy becomes stronger, they might not dare to come after him.

Fan Cheng always believed that anyone he wanted to get rid of should be completely eliminated immediately, without giving the other party any time.

Therefore, he, Jin Guanghua, and Mu Qingtian immediately led their cultivators from the three domains to follow the cultivators from the Haoran Realm and chase after Ning Qi.

Leng Qing'ao, who had been rescued by Ning Qi, watched Ning Qi's departing figure, her pale pink, rose-like eyes rippled like water.

She also chased after Ning Qi.

Whether it was his master Hai Zu's instructions or Ning Qi's help before, Leng Qing'ao couldn't just ignore it.

Ning Qi teleported around the area about twenty or thirty times before glancing behind him again.

Behind them, a multitude of figures swarmed, each a powerful Dao Integration cultivator from both realms.

Those charging ahead were the Dao Integration Limit and late-stage powerhouses, including the gray-robed cultivator who rode his sword.

Further away, Ning Qi also spotted Fan Cheng and the other two.

However, Ning Qi was not surprised that the three of them had come along.

"Come on, all of you, we can take care of you all together later."

Ning Qi continued to "escape" south of the outer ring road.

When the people of the Vast Realm saw that Ning Qi was as slippery as a fish and difficult to catch or intercept, and that he kept heading south, they were not stupid.

Led by the gray-clad swordsman, the group of pursuers all stopped abruptly and ceased their pursuit.

Someone transmitted a message privately: "Mi Hui, without a message from Sect Master Jiang of the Haoran Immortal Sect, we should not continue the pursuit."

The gray-clad swordsman, Mi Hui, did not respond, but merely nodded slightly.

He flipped his left hand, and a communication jade slip appeared in his hand, as if waiting for a reply from within.

After discovering Ning Qi, he sent a message to important figures in the Haoran Realm within the War Zone.

Although the strongest group of cultivators, including Sect Master Jiang Yingchu of the Haoran Immortal Sect, had gone to the Central Region, Ning Qi was someone that the Holy Ancestor had specifically instructed everyone to keep an eye on.

Therefore, even if the sect leader is in the Central Region, there will still be people who transmit information across regions.

Ning Qi also remained in the void ten kilometers in front of everyone.

Seeing that the others had no intention of continuing to pursue him, Ning Qi's eyes flickered, and he understood their concerns.

However, he was certain that once the other side received the message, they would continue their pursuit.

Ning Qi's gaze then swept over the Mountain and Sea Realm Dao, which was following behind the Haoran Realm Dao.

He met Leng Qing'ao, the shark ancestor beside the mermaid Lang Yingying, and many Dao Integration cultivators he had met before.

Apart from the three from Fancheng and their subordinates, most of the Dao-aligned individuals looked at him with surprise and friendliness.

Regardless, the fact that Ning Qi, a mere Integration Realm cultivator, could attract so many Dao Integration Realm cultivators from the Vast Realm to pursue him was already a remarkable achievement in their eyes.

They themselves could never do that!

However, they did not know why Ning Qi was so highly regarded by the cultivators of the Vast Realm, nor did they know that Ning Qi was completing a task assigned by the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Ning Qi narrowed his eyes.

Why doesn't the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm allow the Dao-Merging beings of the Mountain and Sea Realm to seize the opportunity while he is drawing the enemy's attention and hurry across the domain to the Central Domain?
The reaction speed and formation of a cultivator army are unlike those of an ordinary army; the moment of victory or defeat often hangs in the balance!
Does he really intend to wait until he can completely stall the other party?

In front.

The jade slip in the hand of the gray-robed swordsman Mi Hui vibrated.

He immediately read the information inside, which read:

"We must capture Ning Qi, but once we reach one-third of the distance to the Southern Region, we must immediately withdraw and abandon this mission!"

This message was naturally sent by Jiang Yingchu, the sect leader of the Haoran Immortal Sect.

Many others received the message along with Mi Hui; they were all leading figures from various regions within the Haoran Realm.

The group exchanged glances and then continued their pursuit of Ning Qi.

Upon seeing this, Ning Qi instantly understood.

His appeal to the Vast Realm was indeed considerable.

Ning Qi made up his mind that he would lead the group further south to see where their pursuit of him would end.

As everyone continued their pursuit of Ning Qi, the voice of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will resounded in the minds of all the Dao Integration cultivators in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

"While Ning Qi is drawing the enemy away, you all should quietly follow him to the Central Region's boundary wall. I will then guide you inside. Taking over the Central Region is the most important thing right now!"

Only after hearing the Realm Lord's voice did everyone understand.

It turns out that all of this was arranged by the World Lord and the two ancestors behind him.

The Daoist sect of the Mountain and Sea Realm then quietly acted according to the will of the Realm Lord.

However, some people do not comply.

Leng Qing'ao used his communication jade slip to contact the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

“Lord of the Realm, can Ning Qi lure the enemy alone? The Sea Ancestor values ​​him so much, I must help him.”

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm knew that Leng Qing'ao was a disciple who was also recognized by the Sea Ancestor, so it told her the truth.

"Qing Ao, you know that Ning Qi was arranged by us, but you also know that we naturally left Ning Qi a backup plan."

Upon hearing this, Leng Qing'ao's pink eyes lit up.

She didn't know if her concern was causing her confusion.

After pursing his lips, Leng Qing'ao spoke again to the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm: "Realm Lord, if that's the case, then Qing'ao can rest assured."

She glanced at Ning Qi, but said again, "However, I am bound by the Sea Ancestor's decree, and I can only leave after confirming that Ning Qi is truly safe."

"what ever!"

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm transmitted its message to everyone, and most of them obeyed its call. However, there were quite a few who, like Leng Qing'ao, explicitly refused.

The three from Fancheng were inside.

“Lord of the Realm, Ning Qi is, after all, a cultivator at the Integration Realm. Since the others have already followed your arrangements, we, the cultivators of the Three Realms, will protect Ning Qi.”

He spoke with absolute certainty, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Besides, he was originally a cultivator under our Mountain Ancestor, so we should act on his behalf."

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm did not manifest itself; it indifferently looked down upon the Dao-merging beings of the three realms, including Fancheng, Jin Guanghua, and Mu Qingtian.

Their attitude towards him was one of superficial respect, but in reality, they didn't care much about him at all.

Of all the people under Shan Zu's command, since Hao Shan became the strongest cultivator in the Mountain and Sea Realm, the only person they truly respected was Hao Shan.

Shan Hai Jie Yi did not reply to the three, nor did he even intend to report their movements to Hao Shan.

How could he not know what the three of them were thinking?
Since they're targeting Ning Qi, let's give it a try. The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm believes that Ning Qi can also help them vent their anger.

……

Ning Qi continued to flee south. The Daoist Path of the Vast Realm pursued him while also assessing the surrounding situation and engaging in battles with the Daoist Path of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

However, since the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm has set up this scheme, how could they be allowed to see the true situation?

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm directly used its primordial power to create many Dao-merging phantoms, which followed the army of the Three Domains of Brahma City.

This is a classic example of feigning one's intentions while secretly pursuing another.

In fact, he had already transferred most of the Dao Integration cultivators to the Central Region.

Ning Qi continued south, and he never managed to be caught up with.

Zhong Hedao stared at his retreating figure, his heart also deeply shaken.

No wonder the Holy Ancestor valued this person so much; even with so many Dao Integration Realm cultivators, they couldn't catch up with him, which also demonstrates Ning Qi's worth. Mi Hui watched as they approached a third of the distance to the Southern Region.

Suddenly, two swords of intent, thick with deathly aura, erupted from his deathly gray eyes.

This is a sword technique entirely released through the eyes; it is formless and intangible, yet its destructive power is astonishing.

Two swords of intent instantly caught up with Ning Qi, about to strike his back.

Then, at that very moment, a spirit sword flew out from behind Ning Qi.

The spirit sword, like a dragon, instantly struck two invisible and intangible intent swords.

To Mi Hui's surprise, Ning Qi actually managed to use the tangible to cut the intangible!
The instant the sword struck, Mi Hui, as a sword cultivator, clearly sensed a special will within Ning Qi's spiritual sword.

That was not Ning Qi's will, but rather a mixture of the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Mi Hui squinted, thinking to himself, "Is that a life-saving technique bestowed upon you by the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm?"

Now that Ning Qi had escaped from his grasp again, Mi Hui did not forget the instructions of Jiang Yingchu, the sect leader of Haoran Immortal Sect.

He suddenly waved his hand, blocking all the cultivators.

"This is the limit of our pursuit; we can't chase them any further."

All the Dao-merging beings who remained in the void uniformly stopped flying.

They looked into Ning Qi's eyes, feeling a pang of reluctance, yet remaining remarkably rational.

Seeing this, Ning Qi also stopped.

He understood the other party's bottom line.

Just then, the cultivators from the Brahma City Three Domains Dao Integration Realm, who were behind everyone, actually bypassed the cultivators from the Vast Realm and flew to Ning Qi's back.

Seeing this, Leng Qing'ao also flew to Ning Qi's side.

Her beautiful pink eyes were not looking at the Dao Integration cultivators from the Vast Realm in front of her, but rather at Fan Cheng and the others.

"Fancheng, what are you trying to do?"

Fan Cheng sneered, "What are we here for? Of course we're here to protect Ning Qi."

Jin Guanghua and Mu Qingtian beside him both laughed in response.

Leng Qing'ao frowned slightly; she had seen through what Fan Cheng and the others were planning to do.

To everyone's surprise, the Realm Lord and the Mountain Ancestor would allow them to do this.

Leng Qingao looked at Ning Qi with some worry.

To her surprise, Ning Qi looked at her without any romantic understanding and asked telepathically, "Why are you still here?"

Upon hearing this, Leng Qingao felt a lump in his throat.

What do you mean she's still here? If she wasn't concerned about you, would she have come along?
However, remembering that Ning Qi had saved her before, she gritted her teeth angrily and said, "If it weren't for the formidable enemy at hand, I would definitely teach you a lesson first!"

"Nonsense! Get out of here right now, or you won't be able to leave later!"

Ning Qi then transmitted another message to her.

He accepted the mission from the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm with the intention of destroying these guys, so what's going on with the addition of Leng Qing'ao?

Leng Qingao replied again, "You little brat..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ning Qi leaned in close, grabbed her waist with one hand, and suddenly threw her away.

Leng Qing'ao suddenly felt as if he had crossed an endless space. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he had been teleported thousands of miles away.

A hint of surprise flashed in Leng Qing'ao's beautiful pink eyes; she hadn't been able to defend against Ning Qi's methods at all!
However, what she cares about right now is not these things, but what Ning Qi is going to do.
She immediately flew back in the direction of Ning Qi.

As far as the eye could see, they discovered that Ning Qi was being forced forward by Fan Cheng and the others.

The combined forces of the three realms, including Fancheng, stood in the void behind Ning Qi, forming a magic array that completely blocked Ning Qi's path.

A sinister smile appeared on Fan Cheng's face.

"Ning Qi, it's not good to keep running like this. What if we lose track of the Dao Integration Realm cultivators on the other side?"

Ning Qi, however, seemed not to understand and asked in return, "I am very grateful that Your Excellency has led your troops to help me."

Fan Cheng exchanged a glance with Jin Guanghua and Mu Qingtian.

"Is this kid really stupid or just pretending? Doesn't he understand why they came?"

Ning Qi, however, had already turned his gaze forward.

He shrugged and said to Mi Hui and the others who were about to leave:
"As you can see, I seem to be highly regarded in both realms. They won't let me continue my escape. Are you still going to leave?"

Mi Hui and other cultivators from the Vast Realm also noticed something was wrong.

Ning Qi could have continued to escape, but those Dao Integration experts from the Mountain and Sea Realm seemed to be intentionally preventing him.

It was as if they were the enemies.

However, no matter what exactly happened, it was a good thing for these cultivators of the Vast Realm!
"kill!"

Mi Hui shouted, and the Daoist disciples around him immediately attacked in unison.

Endless attacks bombarded Ning Qi and the other cultivators, including Fan Cheng.

However, most of the attacks aimed at Ning Qi were restrictive spells, such as imprisonment and enemy locking.

However, all the powerful attacks were directed at Fan Cheng and his group.

The cultivators from both sides caught up with them and arrived at this place; there were approximately 1,500 cultivators at the Dao Integration stage.

Fan Cheng and the others almost cursed under their breath when faced with the differential treatment they received.

Is Ning Qi your ancestor?

How come after they caught up with us here, they suddenly seem to be the ones protecting Ning Qi?

However, Fan Cheng and the others did not have much time to dwell on it.

He transmitted his voice to everyone.

"Ning Qi is between our two sides. We will launch an attack and kill him here in one fell swoop, then retreat as soon as possible!"

The crowd immediately agreed.

Next, Fan Cheng and the others unleashed a series of deadly attacks aimed directly at Ning Qi's back.

Upon seeing this, the Dao Integration Realm cultivators on the opposite side all narrowed their eyes.

Many of them suddenly changed the direction of their attacks, trying to disrupt the attacks that Fan Cheng and the others were launching at Ning Qi.

It was as if the roles of the two sides had suddenly reversed.

Ning Qi remained remarkably detached amidst the myriad attacks.

He spread his hands, and something immediately appeared in his hand.

It was a magical artifact the size of a small mountain. Once released, a phantom image of a divine mountain erupted from it, enveloping Ning Qi within it.

All the attacks that passed around Ning Qi slammed into the phantom of the divine mountain and shattered.

Ning Qi glanced at the small mountain magic weapon with satisfaction. It was indeed worthy of being the Mountain-Stabilizing Seal used by the Mountain Ancestor.

He then looked at the cultivators on both sides, a wry smile playing on his lips.

"Unfortunately, there are still too few people coming."

Suddenly, his magical power surged, shooting upwards from his toes and finally reaching his forehead.

A crisp cracking sound echoed throughout the area, as if a door had been blasted open on Ning Qi's body.

Zhong Hedao stared at Ning Qi.

"Is this his confidence and his method of dealing with us? Is he going to break through to the Dao Integration Realm here?"
